Since the composite spectrum of a star is a combination of light produced at different areas across the stellar disk, MoogStokes synthesizes emergent spectra at numerous locations, as a function of stellar and magnetic field geometry. DiskoBall is a suite of Python routines which allows the user to synthesize a disk-averaged spectrum from the individual emergent spectra, accounting for rotational broadening, limb darkening, and projected area.
